Default injected planes, no more owner oil changes, contact AOPA

The AD is specific to a specific part numbered gasket. The Precision SB
indicates a new gasket that, if installed, eliminates this AD.

Is there a new version of the AD? I don't see anything in there under
alternative methods of compliance showing a method other than the
inspection to comply.

As a side note, if you obtain a new updated gasket for the servo plug,
your
A&P can install it and eliminated the repetitive portion of that AD.

AD 2008-06-51 prohibits injected (mostly Lycoming) aircraft owners
from changing their own oil (really makes the plane unairworthy after
an oil change until you get an A&P sign off).
Talking to AOPA about this I really don't get the impression that they
think this is very important. I would encourage everyone to send a
quick email to AOPA and let them know that the FAA needs to find
another way to do this AD other than restricting oil changes.
